Those your vCPU RESET/INIT changes look great.

I think the change in init_vmcb() basically assumes that the
function is called from kvm_vcpu_reset(via svm_vcpu_reset()).
Although shutdown_interception() directly calls init_mcb(),
I would think the change doesn't matter for the shutdown
interception case.

IMHO it would be a bit misleading that a function named 'init_vmcb',
which is called from other than kvm_vcpu_reset (svm_vcpu_reset()),
only partially resets the vmcb (probably just to me though).
So, I personally think it would be better if its name or comment
can give some more specific information about the assumption.

BTW, it looks like two lines of "vcpu->arch.hflags = 0;"
can be also removed from the init_vmcb() as well.

Thanks,
Reiji
